Custom Data Residency and Multiple Data Regions

Availability

Custom Data Residency and Multiple Data Regions are available on the Enterprise plan.

Step 1: Understand Default Data Residency

1. By default, all BEEM environments are hosted on AWS ca-central-1 (Canada)
2. Each client has a dedicated cloud environment — your data is never shared with other organizations
3. Data at rest and in transit is encrypted

Step 2: Request a Custom Data Region

1. Contact support@beemdata.com or your BEEM account manager
2. Specify your requirements:
   • Preferred AWS region (e.g., us-east-1, eu-west-1, ap-southeast-1)
   • Regulatory requirements driving the choice (GDPR, data sovereignty laws, etc.)
   • Expected data volume and usage patterns
3. The BEEM team provisions a dedicated environment in your chosen region

Step 3: Multiple Regions (If Needed)

1. Enterprise clients can operate across multiple data regions simultaneously
2. Each region contains a fully independent BEEM environment
3. Use cases include:
   • Keeping European data in an EU region for GDPR compliance
   • Keeping Canadian data in ca-central-1 for PIPEDA compliance
   • Separating data by business unit geography
4. Work with the BEEM team to architect the multi-region setup

Step 4: Verify Your Data Residency

1. Open Settings in the left sidebar
2. Review your organization's infrastructure details
3. Confirm the AWS region matches your requirements
4. All connections, datasets, and storage operate within your designated region

Key Details

• Each region has its own dedicated Redshift warehouse, S3 storage, and compute resources
• Cross-region data transfer is not automatic — each region is independent
• AI Insights operates within your designated region; data never leaves your environment
